1. (5pt) In a recent New York City marathon, 25,221 men finished and 253 dropped out. Also,

12,883 women finished and 163 dropped out. We want to use a 0.01 significance level to test

the claim that the rate of those who finish is the same for men and women.

a) Test the claim using a hypothesis test (identify the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis,

test statistic, critical value (or P-value) and conclusion)

b) Test the claim by constructing an appropriate confidence interval.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) Explained below.

(b) The 99% confidence interval for the difference between proportions is (-0.00094, 0.00494).

Step-by-step explanation:

The information provided is:

n (Men who finished the marathon) = 25,221

n (Women who finished the marathon) = 12,883

Compute the proportion of men and women who finished the marathon as follows:

[tex]\hat p_{1}=\frac{25221}{25221 +253}=0.99\\\\\hat p_{2}=\frac{12883 }{12883+163}=0.988[/tex]

The combined proportion is:

[tex]\hat P=\frac{X_{1}+X_{2}}{n_{1}+n_{2}}\\\\=\frac{25221+12883}{38520}\\\\=0.989[/tex]

(a)

The hypothesis is:

H₀: The rate of those who finish the marathon is the same for men and women, i.e. p₁ - p₂ = 0.

Hₐ: The rate of those who finish the marathon is not same for men and women, i.e. p₁ - p₂ ≠ 0.

Compute the test statistic as follows:

[tex]Z=\frac{\hat p_{1}-\hat p_{2}}{\sqrt{\hat P(1-\hat P)\cdot [\frac{1}{n_{1}}+\frac{1}{n_{2}}]}}[/tex]

   [tex]=\frac{0.99-0.988}{\sqrt{0.989(1-0.989)\times[\frac{1}{25474}+\frac{1}{13046}]}}\\\\=1.78[/tex]

Compute the p-value as follows:

[tex]p-value=2\times P(Z>1.78)\\\\=2\times 0.03754\\\\=0.07508\\\\\approx 0.075[/tex]

The p-value of the test is more than the significance level. The null hypothesis was failed to be rejected.

Thus, concluding that the rate of those who finish is the same for men and women.

(b)

Compute the 99% confidence interval for the difference between proportions as follows:

The critical value of z for 99% confidence level is 2.58.

[tex]CI=(\hat p_{1}-\hat p_{2})\pm z_{\alpha/2}\cdot\sqrt{\frac{\hat p_{1}(1-\hat p_{1})}{n_{1}}+\frac{\hat p_{2}(1-\hat p_{2})}{n_{2}}}[/tex]

     [tex]=(0.99-0.988)\pm 2.58\times\sqrt{\frac{0.99(1-0.99)}{25474}+\frac{0.988(1-0.988)}{13046}}\\\\=0.002\pm 0.00294\\\\=(-0.00094, 0.00494)\\\\[/tex]

Thu, the 99% confidence interval for the difference between proportions is (-0.00094, 0.00494).

The solution of a+b>12 is a>−3. What is the value of b?

Answers

Answer:

we conclude that when we substitute b = 15, the solution of the inequality becomes:

[tex]a>-3[/tex]

Therefore, the value of b = 15.

The solution graph is also attached.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the inequality expression

[tex]a+b>12[/tex]

Putting b = 15 in the inequality expression

[tex]a+b>12[/tex]

[tex]a+15>\:12[/tex]

subtract 15 from both sides

[tex]a+15-15>12-15[/tex]

simplify

[tex]a>-3[/tex]

Thus, we conclude that when we substitute b = 15, the solution of the inequality becomes:

[tex]a>-3[/tex]

Therefore, the value of b = 15.

The solution graph is also attached.

You are selling candy bars for a fundraiser. you want to sell at least $200. If snickers cost $2 per bar and M&M's cost $3 per bag, then write an inequality that represents all the possible combinations you can sell to meet your goal.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Goal = > $2500

Amount raised = $700

Amount needed to raise = $2500 - 700 = $1800

Number of candy bars needed = x

Price of a candy bar = $1.50

1.5x > 1800

x > 1800 ÷ 1.5

x > 1200

Answer: They need to sell more than 1200 candy bars.

~Divide 5 to everything

y = 2 - 1/5x

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a 50% chance of getting heads, and 50% chance of getting tails.

If these two options are added together, you get 100%. There are only two options on a coin flip anyways, so the probability of getting heads or tails would be 100%.

If log25 ~ 2.3219,
evaluate log280.

Answers

Answer:

You need to write log_2 80 in terms of log_2 5 , such that:

log_2 80 = log_2 (8*10)  

Using the properties of logarithms, you need to convert the logarithm of product in summation of logarithms, such that:

log_2 (8*10)= log_2 8 + log_2 10

Since log_2 10 = log_2 (2*5) , yields:

log_2 (8*10)= log_2 8 + log_2 (2*5)

log_2 (8*10)= log_2 8 + log_2 2 + log_2 5

You need to write 8 as power of 2, such that:

log_2 (8*10) = log_2 (2^3) + log_2 2 + log_2 5

Using the power property of logarithms, log_a b^c = c*log_a b  yields:

log_2 (8*10) = 3log_2 2 + log_2 2 + log_2 5

Since log_2 2 = 1 yields:

log_2 (8*10) = 3 + 1 + 2.3219

log_2 (8*10) = 4 + 2.3219 => log_2 (8*10) = 6.3219

Hence, evaluating the given logarithm , using the indicated properties of logarithms, yields log_2 (8*10) = 6.3219 .

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of [tex]log_2{80}[/tex] if [tex]log_25 = 2.3219[/tex] is 6.3219.

What is a logarithm?

The logarithm is exponentiation's opposite function in mathematics.

This indicates that the exponent to which b must be raised in order to obtain a number x is the logarithm of x to the base b. For instance, because 100 = 10², the logarithm of 100 in base 10 is 2, or log10 = 2.

Given, [tex]log_25 = 2.3219[/tex].

Now, To obtain the value of [tex]log_2{80}[/tex] we'll break it into suitable smaller parts.

Therefore,

[tex]log_2{80} = log_2({8\times10})[/tex].

[tex]log_2{80} = log_28 + log_210[/tex]

[tex]log_2{80} = log_28 + log_2({2\times5})[/tex].

[tex]log_2{80} = log_28 + log_22 + log_25[/tex].

[tex]log_2{80} = 3 + 1 + 2.3219[/tex].

[tex]log_2{80} = 6.3219[/tex].
